Their 24-hour reception and security means you're safe to enjoy Barnacles' free tours and pub crawls. We like that if you can't get to the post office on time, the staff can pop your postcards in the mail for you.

To quote the 2012 Lonely Planet: 'Bright and spacious, in the heart of Temple Bar, this hostel is immaculately clean, has nice laid-out ensuite dorms and doubles with in-room storage. Because of its location, rooms are quieter to the back. Top facilities, comfy lounge and linen and towels provided'.

Every room comes with an ensuite bathroom and is centrally heated. Our cosy rooms have hot showers, comfy mattresses and individual reading lights to ensure you have a good rest.

The only thing is the shower pressure is so high it hurts! I prefer high pressure to too low, but really if it's possible to tone it down a bit that'd be great. It was genuinely painful and I think I wasted a ton of water.
Amazing location, really friendly and helpful staff, everything else was good and clean.
